It offered the help that I had been searching for. I weighed up the two options I had before me, and I chose motherhood. I chose to accept help to get housing, help to find a job and help to obtain a pram, a cot and nappies. It wasn\u2019t easy. But with the support of the group who had given me that leaflet, I couldn\u2019t be prouder of the life my daughter and I have charted out together\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Right To Life UK spokesperson, Catherine Robinson, said: \u201cBy attempting to prevent women considering abortion from receiving compassionate emotional and practical support, the \u2018pro-choice\u2019 lobby reveals their opposition to real choice for women\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWherever harassment or intimidation occurs, it can, and should, be dealt with under existing laws.
